Higham 29-4-26 V81 ran early last night so our intrepid explorer decided to venture into one of the more remote and seldom visited valleys of Derbyshire in search of the soon to be extinct PCA. After a long trek through many fields and mobbed by a herd of teenage herbivores, he arrived to find the shot was too tight off the bridge, the trees were all too far away and the train was 3 signal sections south of him. In desperation he stood on his steps to gain more height and held on. 70007 passes through Higham on 6H61 Walsall-Earles Sidings empty cement-still using 2 axle PGAs. Yes, 2 axle PCAs work out of Ketton as well but not for too much longer it seems. My apologies to the driver for not returning your friendly wave. I never saw it till I processed the picture as I was concentrating on not falling and timing the shot correctly! TAKEN FROM STEPS. I will be back as somebody famous once said-when the days are a little longer!
Never been to a Cricket match before, Don't understand it but by the reaction of the crowd... this is a very good thing for 1 Team and very bad for the other...lol
Sometimes, great timing happens and everything connects for one short moment in life and makes you feel present in the universe.
As I was turning from a corner, I saw these delightful autumnal colours around the red brick wall and there walked a lovely young person dressed in perfect matching colours with Nature.
At that very moment, she had the same thoughts--as I learned a minute later--and that's when I stopped her for a portrait.
It was easy to talk to Riina, 23y/o, almost 24, in a fortnight. She acted naturally in front of my camera and my camera loved her. She become one with this delightful autumnal tableau.
Riina is a student of philosophy; her reflections upon my questions emphasised her philosophical education. I would have loved to discuss longer with her, but there wasn't enough time. She was on her way to support the Extinction Rebellion, the global environmental movement's manifestation in town. She did, however, promise to answer my questions by returning email.
I sent her the photos and was so glad to receive her answers within a few hours.
The floor is yours, Riina.
"When one is asked about "The Meaning of Life" I like to paraphrase whomever it was--I don't remember where I heard this and whether I'm remembering it right--who said that life does not have a meaning per se, but things within life have meanings, which I think, gets formed through specific subject's experiences and that same subjects relations to things they bump into within these experiences.
I'm talking about the meanings of life since those things that have a meaning or meanings to this specific subject, are the things that inspire me and are connected, I think, to all the your questions. So, at this moment in time I'm rather into--which means deeply in love with--books, philosophy, dancing, nature, especially forests, humour, especially satire, animals, especially dolphins, art, history, solitude, walking, writing and, I guess, thinking. These are the things I do in life, that I like to do in my spare time and that inspire me.
"What I love about myself is that I'm insanely curious--it brings a lot of meaning to my existence and keeps me, most of the time, rather satisfied, by which I mean excited and joyful. Interestingly, it seems that the more curious you are, the more curious you get; and the more curious you get, the more you get the learn. And I've had some amazing luck with ending up being this almost strangely inquisitive person. I really dig it!
"The Younger-Me question was to me definitely the easiest to answer; I would advice her to not be so deeply afraid of feelings, to not think of them as something one should wish to get rid of or worse, hide them and imagine them non-existent. It would have made things a lot easier, I suppose, if I'd understood feelings as mentionable, understandable, acceptable and manageable and not as some kind of demonic and horrible signs-of-weaknesses.
"And I thought a lot about what I would say to the world, but I suppose I can't imagine myself being a worthy advice-giver, since I'm myself actively trying to find a way to flourish. However, there's this one thought-provoker I like, which often helps me to answer a question of what it is that I "ought" to do in any specific situation; that is, "Imagine a person who would be in your opinion morally 'perfectly good'. How would they act in this situation?" I like this since it leaves us to imagine our own kind of goodness and own kind of perfection--which in my case means a person who definitely is not "perfect" in all kinds of situations, not even in most situations--and I don't have to end up implying that I'd know better about living a flourishing life than I do. It's kind of a version of "What would [...] do?" but a more imaginative one."
Thank you, Riina, I was happy to run into you so totally randomly, a second later and we would have missed each other. You were a breath of fresh air.
"It was really great to meet you, Ann, this was a lot of fun! I've never experienced anything like this and I appreciate you and all this!"

Nice one. I think my youngest took this shit. This is the beauty of film. It is what it is, I moved and have my eyes shut. Could have been perfect, because Sietske is all sharp. This is life. I love this.

Thanks to JQ and MM, I knew that NS 8098 (Conrail Heritage Unit) was leading train 112 westbound from Louisville to St. Louis. Originally estimated into the Lou for 0715, I had hoped they would fall down. After checking my work schedule, I learned I had a meeting at 0900! Then I hoped the train wouldn't fall down too much...
Listening to the feed while getting ready for work found the Southern West District was really busy around 0700. 239 was holding the main at New Baden. 168 was coming west behind 239. 167 was heading east to clear up at New Baden. 112 was getting permission from the CN at Centralia and D76 wanted to enter Centralia Yard Limits and also head west. Whew!
112 took a short delay from the BNSF at Centralia so I figured my only hope was for 167 to meet the first two at New Baden then run east to Shattuc for 112 and D76. That was not to be as 112 got a warrant west to catch up to 239 and 168.
I went to work continuing to listen to the feed and anxiously listening for 112 to call signals. Eventually, 0830 rolled around and I left the warehouse to spend 15 minutes trackside. Luckily, everything kept moving and by 0845 I heard 112 call "Clear MP 19". Within a quick moment, the 8098 popped around the corner and under the former L&N (now Metrolink) and passed the platform for the long gone Southern depot in Belleville. 112 was clearly forwarding some power west but Big Blue certainly stood out from the 8 normally dressed sisters.
Got the shot and back to work in time for the 0900 meeting!

Errand complete, or the excuse for escaping for an hour and there was still time to catch 19185 (MX57DZK) on the return journey to Ashton as a 230. Let’s just say things didn’t go quite to plan on my timing and just as I dumped the car for the photo the heavens opened for the two minutes it took for the photo then kindly stopped raining two seconds after I got back in the car, still it ads character to the photo taken in Littlemoss, a slightly more scenic location than its branded Oxford Road route.
Perfect timing, managed to quickly snap this photo as I entered the park just before the sun began to go down.
my timing was off this afternoon, we had sunshine, but I managed to get caught in a Hailstone Shower and Gales ... it was horrid ;(
Japanese Friendship Garden Balboa Park, San Diego. I'm participating in the "no flower challenge" which means for at least 5 days I can't post a flower shot. It's actually easier than I thought.
Watched the first dragon boat race of the day at the Arundel festival. As can be seen the paddlers were inexperienced and had difficult keeping time.
“Photography is a response that has to do with the momentary recognition of things. Suddenly you’re alive. A minute later there was nothing there. I just watched it evaporate. You look one moment and there’s everything, next moment it’s gone. Photography is very philosophical.” – Joel Meyerowitz
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 is caught leaving Las Vegas (McCarran) Airport.
I just caught it as it was about to disappear from view. A fraction of a second earlier or later would have produced an entirely different picture.

Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.
